because the viewers can see that he doesn’t live an ideal life. He doesn’t spend time with his family, his car and apartment is a mess, and it’s clear that he’s an alcoholic. As for Greta, the song she sings is quiet and emotional using merely her guitar. The lyrics of her song, “A Step You Can’t Take Back,” portray Greta’s emotions and they convey her loneliness in the city after leaving her boyfriend, Dave. The song also shows that she’s more withdrawn and less confident when she sings in…

instrumentation of the Eagles’ song is a bit different than most rock songs. The band felt the song needed a heavy hitting, powerful sound from the guitar. Don Felder strummed a twelve string electric guitar and Glenn Frey simultaneously played a twelve string acoustic guitar. Randy Meisner played bass guitar, Joe Walsh jammed on the lead guitar, and Don Henley finished out the band with his drums. Henley also sang lead vocals, with backup vocals from the four other Eagles…

We arrived early so we had to wait outside for a little while. The weather was breezy. When they finally opened the doors, we found our seats.…

Different moments of our lives change us and shape us into the man or woman whom one day we will become. One moment that changed me was when I got my first instrument. Getting my first instrument was exciting, yet challenging at the same time. When I told my mom that I wanted to start playing music, I didn’t realize how hard it can truly be.
